Today's my last Indy #cryptic #crossword. I hope there's a second life in the near future for Mike's fantastic operation. It's been my privilege to set alongside my heroes and super talented friends.
@henriwords.comReposted by @mycrossword.co.ukA favour to ask for MyCrossword setters on here!
If you’re planning to post a Cryptic in the next couple of days can you let me know by DM?
Kinda spoilery though it will be obvious by the time it happens 😆 but I am trying to nab Cryptic no. 4000 for a special puzzle…

Thanks!

Sample clues:
28a. Fool and money ultimately get parted in turn of phrase (5)
17d. Done up, however shirt's done up (8)

@pantherapuzzles.bsky.socialReposted by @mycrossword.co.ukThere will be a #CrypticSunday Replacement Stream Service, but I'm a tad under the weather right now so I can't guarantee I'll be on top form. Still, I wanna do puzzles by @longyfan.bsky.social, Baz & @tpgrammar.bsky.social, so do them I will - see you at noon!
@mycrossword.co.ukOh and once there's a bit more difficulty data in the system, I can add a difficulty filter if that's something people are interested in
